Cold Ironing is the process of providing shore-side electrical power to a ship at berth while its main and auxiliary engines are turned off. Cold ironing permits emergency equipment, refrigeration, cooling, heating, lighting, etc. to receive continuous electrical power while the ship loads or unloads its cargo. A ship can cold iron by simply connecting to another ship's power supply; a process the US Navy has practiced for many years, or from a shore-side power source. Recently cold ironing has been looked to as a means to mitigate air pollution by significantly reducing, and in some cases, completely eliminating harmful emissions from diesel engines. |
